You most certianly can. Voltage ratings on wires are 300V,600V and 1000V. These are the maximum voltages. 120 - 240 on 300V, 480 - 575 on 600V, 1000V wire is a special order used for specialized equipment.

What is the cable size for a 3KW motor 350 meter run for cable 240v?

Assuming being fed by c32 breaker for start load minimum cable size SWA is 70mm which will go to 456 meters


Which wire in a 240V cable with black white and bare copper wires connects to which prong in a 3-prong 30-amp 120-240V dryer outlet?

Do not use this type of cable to feed a 120/240V dryer outlet. The outlet is ungrounded, and the third conductor is neutral not ground. Your ground wire must be sheathed by code. You cannot use the bare neutral conductor as ground. Diagram Did Not Come Through. You Have a 3 Prong Connector. The Prong On The Bottom By Its Self Connect The Bare Wire. That Is What Was # 3 Connect The Others To The Two Prongs Next To Each Other. Hope This Makes Some Sense (1) (2) (3) Connect White To (1), Connect Black To (2) Bare (3) Good Luck


Can you use 10ga wire for 220 volts?

There is a big misconception that there are two types of wire for different voltages. It is the insulation factor that governs amount of voltage that can be applied to a conductor. Most conductors have three standard voltage insulations, 300V,600V and 1000V. These are the maximum amount of voltages applied to each insulation. The type of insulation and size of a conductor governs the amount of amperage that can be legally applied to the conductor. To answer your question "yes" you can use 120V and 240V on 300V insulation. The "gauge" of the wire is the wire size measured in AWG. )American Wire Gauge. The code book lays out the amount of amps that are allowed on each size.


Can I use a 10A 250V power cord on a tv with input 100-240V?

yes


Originally a 240V line running from the 50A circuit to a box contaning in line fuses from this box came a 240V cable having 2 black wires and wire braid do I wire the outlet stove as a 3 or 4 prong?

3 prong the 2 black wires are your hot and the braided is your neutral.

Why there is two voltage rating on the same cable like 300V or 500V?

The first figure indicates the phase to neutral or ground voltage and the second is the phase to phase voltage. i.e. Vph-ph = 1.732Vph-n

Like all supply cables, it all depends on the CSA of the cable
